2 Responses to Chant Book Talks: Enmei Jukku Kannon Gyo

I’m curious about the word “ki” in the next-to-last line. It’s usually translated “arising” or “arrived,” but I’m also familiar with ki as qi or chi — ie, as life force, breath, similar to Hindu prana, Greek pneuma, Hebrew ruah, English spirit (think “inSPIRation”). Is there a connection between these latter meanings and the “ki” in the Kannon Gyo, or am I overthinking?
